Blake Butera received his first career ejection after the umpire started yelling into the Nationals dugout

runner baiting interference and getting tripped on purpose get him out too

Why don’t these umps pay attention to the game instead of what going on inside the dugout

Umpire initiates confrontation, manager catches the ejection. Unusual sequence but tensions clearly boiled over.

Anyone here to support National dugout

I think the ump called the runner out for tripping the fielder on purpose. Mgr must have thought otherwise. runner is out because of interference with fielder by tripping him. right call by ump.

Definitely not out of baseline. I think they're wanting obstruction on catcher for tripping runner. Looks like umpire is big timing Butera and Butera lost it. Maybe ump said runner initiated contact which, ehhh, maybe but the fielders don't have many rights in that situation.

Butera for President!

Ah yes. The weak minded baseball umps strike again.

Runner intentionally ran into the catch by stick his limbs out. Nice try but good call on the umpire. This isn't mediocre baseball.

Just let him be

The dugout is not a "Safe Space" people. If you bitch and whine loud enough for the umpire to hear, he might tell you to shut up. If you then come out and have a temper tantrum, you will probably get tossed. Suck it up.

Im so tired of these soyboy fckn umpires.

@TalkinBaseball_ It’s ALWAYS, Manny. Also what a cute kick at the catchers leg to try and get interference called. No place for that bullshit in the game. Runner should 100% have a target on his back for that.

Obstruction?!

Man, they really do get crazy in these baseball games and then if these arms don’t wanna argue anymore, they’ll just throw you out of the game

Umpires are worthless.
